4-Aminophenol → HCID 178442873, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.7 Grams of 4-aminophenol and 80 ml of ethyl methyl ketone were charged in a 300 ml flask equipped with a stirrer and a condenser and stirred in an atmosphere of room temperature. Thereto was added 12.0 g of powdery n-octadecylsuccinic anhydride little by little in several parts, followed by stirring at 70°-75° C. for 1 hour. Then, 120 ml of diglyme was added thereto, followed by heating with gently passing N2 gas to first distill off ethyl methyl ketone and then slowly distill off diglyme. After distilling off most of diglyme (the time required: about 3 hours), 120 ml of toluene was added to the residue, followed by leaving to cool. The precipitated crystal was filtered off and washed. The crystal was recrystallized from n-propanol to obtain 10.6 g of the desired product. m.p. 133°-134° C.
